France should edge this one slightly.

 

[Dion Blaster]

[figadapaura]

Oh no there is no one to hate! Both teams are from uefa

I want a draw so they're both winners. ;_;

Spoiler

I actually put a bet on France so les bleus pls

 

[Brazil]

Hopefully this match starting will stop the continent crap for a while at least.

This match is shit because Europe sucks.

Boo this continent.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

You'd think there'd be more PS4 ads since Sony are sponsors. Who the fuck would want an X1 after that ad?

PS4 already owns the world outside of the US. Why would they need to advertise it?

 

[victreeb3l]

lol espn

 

[Jack cw]

Please understand that a formation doesnt denote how attacking or defensive the mentality of a team is.

This! End of discussion.

 

[Wilbur]

England wont qualify for the 2018 WC.

Won't need to, we'll get to host it when Russia blow themselves up

 

[Gambit]

I can't believe some people actually care how well their continent is doing.

Are there really Brazilians thinking "oh if we don't win it, I'll root for Argentina"?

I'd be delighted if all of Germany's European rivals drop out.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Oh no there is no one to hate! Both teams are from uefa

 

[Tugatrix]

lol espn

they are cloning players, those dirty french

 

[cripterion]

We definitely have the best jerseys of the competition.

 

[Dion Blaster]

USA! USA! USA!

 

[Brazil]

I'll definitely root for any American team (other than Argentina) if Brazil is knocked out.

Our biggest rivals are European

 

[Fox318]

so who should I be rooting for here?

French.

Swiss neutralism is a veil that allows them to profit off of others.

 

[LTWheels]

Lololol

@RayHudson: What`s the difference between #England and a tea-bag?

A tea-bag stays in the cup longer.

 

[bjaelke]

Won't need to, we'll get to host it when Russia blow themselves up

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Won't need to, we'll get to host it when Russia blow themselves up

lol

 

[xbhaskarx]

What an awesome week of matches, and really cool to see all of the CONCACAF people supporting each other. If/when US meets Mexico then yeah it's war, but until then definitely pulling hard for all my CONCACAF teams.

Apparently that's not allowed, you uncouth new worlder!

 

[Good Job Bob]

We'll stop supporting our region once you lot stop collectively shitting on it.

I remember people in the draw thread actually saying that the US wouldn't be able to qualify for the World Cup if they were in UEFA. That we only qualify because 'lol CONCAFAF' and that in a real region we'd never make it through. Our domination of the region wasn't a symbol of our quality, just a lack of competition. Yet now we are seeing that CONCACAF does have quality sides that can compete with and beat Europe (and South Americas') best.

And so, naturally, we all want to thump our chests a little bit and crow about the quality we have on this side of the Atlantic. Because it not only means that Costa Rica is better than the Euro-snobs thought, it means that the US and Mexico and Honduras and Panama, et al. are probably better too.

But it's true that the USA might not qualify in UEFA.

holy fucking shit. You have a huge chip on your shoulder about this. No one in europe, nor this mythical Eurosnob strawman you've built really gives a shit about CONCACAF. It's a developing federation full of countries that don't give a shit about football and for a long time dominated by Mexico. There's never been any collective shitting, just collective not giving a shitting.

 

[Cappa]

Worst overall World Cup I can remember so far. Shit officiating, shit match results, shit bus parking by shin-stomping South-American teams, great teams leaving too early.

bahahahahahahahahahahahhahaahhahahah shut the fuck up... this world cup is amazing and I'm from Spain.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Europe was responsible for both World Wars. Down with Europe!

Spoiler

please understand this is a joke

 

[Overdoziz]

WILL CONCACAF WIN THIS MATCH?

 

[figadapaura]

oh so close

 

[Brazil]

Europe was responsible for both World Wars. Down with Europe!

Spoiler

please understand this is a joke

or is it

 

[Firemind]

I'm glad Italy lost. They're often talking shit about our league. Well, guess what? Serie A is second tier for some time now.

 

[kamorra]

I'll definitely root for any American team (other than Argentina) if Brazil is knocked out.

That's weird. I don't care much for any other team in Europe. But it's a way to win even if your team loses I guess.

 

[Fularu]

Great construction!

Allez les bleus!

 

[Smiles and Cries]

dude do not miss again

 

[Subliminal]

holy fukin shit I am so gay for the french team. They are all incredibly rugged and dammmmmmmmmmmmm. you can storm my bastille on july 14th

 

[Tugatrix]

Ouch

 

[kamorra]

Which league might that be?

 

[chugen]

oh snap

 

[Kurtofan]

face kicked ouch

 

[Chakan]

No yellow card?

 

[zroid]

these dirty french!

 

[Brazil]

It's not weird. We love our neighbors. Why shouldn't we root for them?

Lololol

Will he go on another amazing diatribe about how crap England is and how they're embarrassing themselves?

[mellz]

surely a yellow?

 

[CelticKnight]

Because it not only means that Costa Rica is better than the Euro-snobs thought, it means that the US and Mexico and Honduras and Panama, et al. are probably better too.

That's a massive assumption based on nothing.

And, to be frank, a lot of the CONCACAF teams over the years in World Cup's have been shit. USA and Mexico have been the only ones to hold their own.

 

[Tugatrix]

No yellow card?

wasn't intentional

 

[Jb]

Arf arf arf one out and no yellow card.

And you of course thought Costa Rica were going to qualify.

Blood has been spilled! How is this not yellow!
